Tax Evasion Case Hearing against Partex chair on Jan 13
A Dhaka court yesterday deferred the hearing on charge framing against Partex Group Chairman MA Hashem till January 13 in connection with a tax evasion case.
Judge (In-charge) Fozila Begum of the Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order after Hashem along with his lawyer submitted a time petition seeking adjournment of the hearing.
The National Board of Revenue (NBR) on August 23 this year filed the case with the Sessions Judge Court against Hashem, also chairman of United Commercial Bank Ltd, for evading tax.
Following the case, the court issued an arrest warrant against Hashem and directed the officer-in-charge of Gulshan Police Station to submit a report on execution of the arrest warrant by September 19.
But Hashem had got anticipatory bail from the High Court (HC).
In the case statement, Kabir Uddin Mollah, deputy tax commissioner, alleged that Hashem evaded Tk 4,76 crore income tax from 1977-1978 fiscal year to 2005-2006.
He was also arrested in a case filed on May 28 in 2007 for his alleged involvement with syndicates behind price hike of essentials. He was released on bail from the HC on August 4 in 2008.
